DMZ Host IP Address: Specify the private IP address of the DMZ host.
Note:
The computer designated as the DMZ host will lose firewall protection provided by the
Device. As the DMZ host is exposed to many exploits from the Internet, it may be
used to attack your network.
7.1.4 Priorities for Port Forwarding and DMZ Host
The port forwarding has higher priority than the DMZ host. When receiving a request
packet initiated by an outside user, the Device will firstly search the
Port Forwarding
List to find out if there is a port forwarding rule matching the destination IP address
and port of the packet. If a match is found, the Device will forward the packet to the
mapped localhost. Else, the Device will try to find out if there is an available DMZ host.
7.2 Static Route
A static route is manually configured by the network administrator, which is stored in a
routing table. By using routing table, the Device can select an optimal transmission
path for each received packet, and forward the packet to the destination site
effectively. The proper usage of static routes can not only improve the network
performance, but also achieve other benefits, such as traffic control, provide a secure
network environment.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot dynamically adapt to the
current operational state of the network. When there is a change in the network or a
failure occurs, some static routes will be unreachable. In this case, the network
administrator should update the static routes manually.
7.2.1 Static Route List
All static routes you have configured will be displayed in the Static Route List (see the
following figure).
